DEMOCRATS MAKING A STILL HUNT
THEIR APPARENT APATHY AT OSWEGO.

RELYING UPON LIQUOR DEALERS AND OFFICE
HoLDrRs-BRIGHr REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK.
OswEGo, Oct. 80 ,SpcctaD There is not great deal
OF activity in political affairs in this county This seems
to he largely due 70 the lack of aggressive opposition to
the Republican ticket The Democrats have not opened
headquarters nor even organized their county commit
tee. Members Of that party coming In from the country
and iD1urng for Democratic headquarters arc referred
TO X. j. OGorman the chairman of the County Commit
tee, aud he may be found "on the bridge II Tie

William A. Poucher
A a matter Of fact, Mr.. Pouchcr "a the party IN

Mayor Dowdlc was OF the leaders. II Away sup
ported the Manning side and Mr. Pouchcr was genrray
the other side OF the house BIT when Mr. 'cvcihd
became President, Mr. Poucher Ragged all the patron
10 the amahcmcnt and Indignation Of the old rldei
faction. Hence these have not any great zeal Tor
Democratic success. ON the other hand. Mr.. Poucher
has repeatedly been Il candidate for AorncyGencral'
and his failure TO get the nomination In the la4t Siac
Convention did inspire him with unusual zeal for
the ticket.
But it would he u mistake to that tho apparrnt

and holding no meetings. But they are worHng
secretly through the liquor dealers and will do their re-
naming work IN the last few days Of the canvass Win
